The Academy's Upper School Academic Awards and Senior Send-Off celebrates students' academic, athletic, and service achievements for the 2025-26 school year. Additionally, seniors individually address CPA Upper School, sharing their post-graduation destinations. As this year draws to a close, we give thanks to faculty, staff, and teachers who have faithfully and steadfastly “assisted Christian families in helping students come to know God.”
